Chapter: 6586

The reason why Wu Feiyun wants to bind these branch families is that with her increasing age, the secrets of the Wu family are becoming more numerous, and the future of the Wu family will become increasingly incompatible with external alliances.

As for Wu Feiyun's maternal family, she cannot allow the influence of her family's ancestral veneration to be affected. Therefore, she instructed the Wu family to develop multiple families like Song Jian into machines that reproduce the Wu family's lineage.

According to Wu Feiyun's requirements, the Wu family's girls must remain unmarried their whole lives and devote themselves to serving the Wu family, while the Wu family's boys can only marry into branch families that are suitable for them.

The Song family has been responsible for providing the Wu family with young women of a suitable age for marriage and producing offspring for over several hundred years.

Due to the two families having synchronized reproduction for hundreds of years, their genetic tree has already branched out widely, so the offspring born from the union of Song family males and outside women are already distant enough in bloodline that they can be ignored, far exceeding the scope of close-kin marriage. This way, it is ensured to preserve the Wu family's genes normally.

To ensure providing the Wu family with gene-pool excellent girls, Song family males need to find superior Chinese women in the outside world and marry them after which they will bear offspring;

And in order to protect the family secrets, Song family males are often top-notch scoundrels.

They use fake identities to flirt with suitable women in the outside world, waiting for the woman to give birth to children. Then, they bring their kids along and disappear into thin air.

If it's a boy, they will raise him as the new generation of the Song family;

If it's a girl, they will completely follow the Wu family's preferences to raise her, and if she can be selected by the Wu family when she grows up and marry into a high-status Wu male, she will bring more wealth and opportunities for their family. If not, she will have to marry into those lowly regarded males in the Wu family.

In any case, even if it's a worthless Wu male, they are still Wu people, and the Wu family cannot let them spend their whole lives as bachelors. Even if they don't amount to anything, at least they should get married and have offspring, so that their parents or grandparents can account for it.

In order to preserve the Wu family's secrets, they can only marry women from branch families.

So, the Song family, with their branch families, almost have more than 80% of eligible females taken away by the Wu family.

Due to the enormous disparity in strength between the two families, girls who marry into the Wu family are basically nothing to speak of and are often looked down upon by their husbands. It's normal for them to be treated unfairly and even risk being killed by their own husbands. However, no one dares question or complain about this, as they are all controlled by the Wu family.

Those girls who are not selected by the Wu family will not be allowed to leave the Song family and get married, because they must stay with the Song family to protect its secrets for generations.

Song Luyu is the only nun in the Song family's history, and she is even the only one from all the branch families. She carries the hopes of the entire Song family on her shoulders.

Song Luyu knows that the power of the Baoqing Temple and the English Master is immense, and with the influence within the family, she dare not harbor any rebellious thoughts against the temple.

She can only hope to improve herself and take on more important roles in the temple. Once her abilities are recognized by the English Master, the Song family will definitely receive more favors. Who knows, maybe one day they'll be able to break free from their predetermined fate.

Based on this heavy responsibility, Song Luyu is deeply loyal to the Baoqing Temple and longs for more opportunities to accumulate wealth and capital.

This time, she was entrusted with a solo mission to handle the blood-letting work in an entire district, which demonstrates her increased trustworthiness. She thought to herself: "As long as I complete this task without any flaws and on schedule, the Baoqing Temple will definitely give me more important missions in the future. That's when I'll have the opportunity to make a name for myself!"

Just as Song Luyu was deep in thought about her future, she suddenly heard someone knocking at the door outside, disrupting her train of thought.

She regained her composure and asked coldly with a hint of disgust: "What is it?"

At the door, Ye Chen said: "Song Luyu, Commander Yin has sent someone to deliver a message."

"What's the message?" Song Luyu replied with disdain: "He's just a commander. If he had something important to say, why would he send someone else to tell me? He's really putting on airs!"

Ye Chen hurriedly explained: "Actually, there are some issues with the goods. They might not be finished on schedule, and Commander Yin dare not delay it, so he has gathered all the chiefs and flag holders to discuss a plan and find a solution. That's why I'm here to report to you." JrNovels.com
